system snmp sysinfo

Use this command to enable and configure basic information for the FortiWeb appliance’s SNMP agent.

Before you can use SNMP, you must activate the FortiWeb appliance’s SNMP agent and add it as a member of at least one community. For details, see system snmp community. You must also enable SNMP access on the network interface through which the SNMP manager will connect. For details, see system interface.

On the SNMP manager, you must also verify that the SNMP manager is a member of the community to which the FortiWeb appliance belongs, and compile the necessary Fortinet proprietary management information blocks (MIBs) and Fortinet-supported standard MIBs. For information on MIBs, see the FortiWeb Administration Guide:

https://docs.fortinet.com/fortiweb/admin-guides

To use this command, your administrator account’s access control profile must have either w or rw permission to the sysgrp area. For details, see Permissions.

Syntax

set status {enable | disable}

set engine-id "<engine-id_str>"

end

Variable	Description	Default
contact-info "<contact_str>"	Type the contact information for the administrator or other person responsible for this FortiWeb appliance, such as a phone number or name. The contact information can contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers, hyphens ( - ) and underscores ( _ ). The maximum length is 63 characters.	No default.
description "<description_str>"	Type a description of the FortiWeb appliance. The string can contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers, hyphens ( - ) and underscores ( _ ). The maximum length is 63 characters.	No default.
location "<location_str>"	Type the physical location of the FortiWeb appliance. The string can contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers, hyphens ( - ) and underscores ( _ ). The maximum length is 63 characters.	No default.
status {enable | disable}	Enable to activate the SNMP agent, enabling the FortiWeb appliance to send traps and/or receive queries for the communities in which you have enabled queries and/or traps. This setting enables queries only if SNMP administrative access is enabled on one or more network interfaces. For details, see system interface.	disable
engine-id "<engine-id_str>"	Enter the SNMP engineID string. The maximum is 24 characters.	No default

Example1234

This example enables the SNMP agent, configures it to belong to a community named public whose SNMP manager is 192.0.2.20. The SNMP manager is not directly attached, but can be reached through the network interface named port3.

This example also configures the SNMP agent to send traps using SNMP v2c for high CPU or memory usage, and when the primary appliance fails; it also enables responses to SNMP v2c queries through the network interface named port3 (along with the previously enabled administrative access protocols, ICMP ping, HTTPS, and SSH).
